What a great comfort recipe- and perfect for a cozy dinner inside on these cold winter days. I followed the recipe in all, except for substituting the lemon juice with 1/2 the amount of vinegar b/c I was out of fresh lemons (1 Tbsp. vinegar). I added 1/2 a red bell pepper chopped and sauteed with the onion and garlic (its a personal preference but it adds a nice color variation to the soup). Also, I omitted the 1 Tbsp. flour b/c I used the regular heavy whipping cream, not the 10% cream. (Most will have reg heavy whipping cream in their fridge I think.) Next time, I will add shredded carrots along with the corn. Thanks for sharing!

Delicious, healthy, and refreshing!!! We replaced the sugar with "sugar in the raw" instead and cut back to only 1/2 cup (added honey to sweeten it up). Also, we added the juice of 2 fresh squeezed lemons. The recipe is exactly what it says- smooth and sweet! Thanks for posting this.

This is a great recipe! Of course being that I am Romanian myself, I had to give it a try. I've used it for countless gatherings, occasions, etc. each time I make it, people rave about it and ask for the recipe. My mother-in-law (who was born in Romania) also asked me for this recipe so that's how I definitely knew this was a hit. It is a moist and delicious cake! I especially like that it is not overly sweet. I usually coat the cake with powdered sugar well after it cooled off, or....... for those days when I just need the "extra something", I serve it warm out of the oven with a scoop of ice cream (preferably vanilla or butter pecan) right on top. Yum!!

Wow. This is a great refreshing summer desert. I have to admit I was a little bit skeptical when I mixed together the whipped topping, sour cream, and pudding (which i did actually make with the box instructions) because it seemed too runny. But in the end, it was perfect! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Wow! Delicious! I was at first quite skeptical , but like other reviewers mentioned, I added lots more seasonings to my preferred taste (pepper, garlic powder, etc.) This was a great way to use leftover mashed potatoes from the nights before dinner :) I was shocked at the outcome- and I even used canned tomatoes, since I had no fresh tomatoes. Also, I substituted the green beans with 1 can of drained corn. Great recipe- thanks for sharing it!

Delicious. It was a hit- especially with the kids! Based on other reviews, I substituted the 11 cups water with 7 cups chicken broth and 4 cups water. I wanted a broccoli cheese soup without the processed cheese, but with fresh cheese instead, so thanks to you, I have it now.
